A single-vineyard Barbaresco from the calcareous-soil Tre Stelle cru, where a thin layer of earth over pure limestone yields the estate's most aromatic and fine-boned wine. Expect rose, violet, wild cherry and orange peel with snappy, silky tannins — the ethereal counterpart to the deeper Rio Sordo.
If Rio Sordo is the estate's power, Tre Stelle is its perfume — one of the most floral, precise expressions of Barbaresco you'll find at this price.
